The Olivia Rodrigo Columbus setlist isn't out yet, but she plays the Schottenstein Center on Thursday, October 29 and Friday, October 30, 2026. Both shows start at 7:00 p.m., and recent Unraveled Tour nights show what to expect.

Here's the start time, the opener, our predicted setlist, and what "the cure" means.

What Time Is Olivia Rodrigo at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus?

These times come from Shazam and Live Nation listings. Check your ticket for the exact entry time.

Who Is Opening for Olivia Rodrigo in Columbus?

Wolf Alice is the opener listed for the Columbus show. Rodrigo headlines.

The Unraveled Tour began September 25, 2026 in Hartford. It runs 86 shows through May 2027 and supports her album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

Olivia Rodrigo Columbus Setlist Predictions

No Columbus setlist has been released. These are just guesses, based on the most recent full set we could check: Charlotte on October 7.

Charlotte had 24 unique songs in five acts, plus an encore. The acts were Spring, Summer, Summer Twilight, Autumn, and Winter.

Song counts vary by report. Hartford's opener was reported at 23 songs, so expect about 23 to 25 depending on how intros and repeats are counted.

Here's what Charlotte looked like, and what we guess Columbus will repeat:

The set pulls from all three albums: SOUR, GUTS, and You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. So you should hear something from every era.

Small swaps are possible. "Can't Catch Me Now" was marked as a tour debut in Charlotte, so a new song could pop up on either night.

Where Will "Stupid Song" and "The Cure" Fit in the Columbus Show?

Our guess is that both land late, as they did in Charlotte. "stupid song" opens the Autumn act, and "the cure" closes in on the final act from the B-stage.

That's a prediction, not a fact. Columbus could move them.

The "stupid song" music video came out June 12, 2026, the same day as the album. It was filmed around New York, including Central Park.

The album's title came from a remark by producer Dan Nigro in conversation: "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love."

What Does "The Cure" Mean?

Rodrigo called "the cure" the "thesis statement" of the album. She said it made the whole album click for her.

Coverage reads the song as being about learning that love can't fix everything inside you. 

It also explains why the song sits in the final act. It's the idea the show builds toward.
